GEOGRAPHICAL AREA, POPULATION, CLIMATIC CONDITION AND NATURAL RESOURCES 1.1 Manipur is one of the Border States in the northeastern part of the country having an international boundary of about 352 kms. long stretch of land with Myanmar in the east. It is bounded by Nagaland in the north, Assam in the west and Mizoram in the south. It has a total area of 22327 sq kms. It lies between latitude 23.8o N to 25.7o N and longitude 93.5o E to 94.8o E. 1.2 Geographically, the State of Manipur could be divided into two regions, viz. hill and valley. The valley lies in the central part of the state and hills surround the valley. The average elevation of the valley is about 790 m above the mean sea level and that of the hills is between 1500 m and 1800 m. Hill region comprises of five districts namely Senapati, Tamenglong, Churachandpur, Chandel and Ukhrul and valley region consists of four districts, viz, Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal and Bishnupur. Hill districts have about 90 percent (20089 sq km) of the total area of the State and the valley covers only about one tenth (2238 sq km) of the total area of the State. 1.3 The state is land-locked and it does not have any waterways and effective railway transport system (despite a railhead at Jiribam in the south western border). The State is connected by air with Delhi and Calcutta. However, roads constitute the most important transport system. Three National Highways NH-39, NH-53 and NH-150 connects the State with the rest of the country. NH-39 links Imphal with the railway head at Dimapur in Nagaland at a distance of 215 kms to the north, NH-150 with Mizoram and Nagaland, and NH-53 with Silchar in Assam towards the south west. 1.4 The population of valley districts accounts for about 59 percent as compared to about 41 percent of the hill districts. Density of population varies from 415 to 847 among valley districts and 25 to 116 in the hill districts as against 107 for the State. Thus, the valley districts are densely populated while hill districts are sparsely populated. 1.5 The population of the State has increased from 18.31 lakhs in 1991 to 22.94 lakhs in 2001 registering a decadal growth of 24.86 per cent between 1991-2001 as compared to 21.35 per cent at all India level. This is as against a growth rate of 29.29% during 1981 – 91 periods. It has a lopsided population distribution of 14.12 lakhs (61.55%) people living in the valley which constitutes only 1/10 of the total geographical area of the State and 8.82 lakhs (38.45%) thinly dispersed in the hill areas which constitutes 9/10 of ( ii ) the total area of the State. Nearly 74.89% of the population lives in the rural areas. The following table gives growth of population in the State during 1971 and 2001.

The abnormal increase in Chandel District’s population may be mainly attributable to migration from the neighbouring country. 1.6 The literacy rate of the State, which was 62.13% as against All India average of 52.21%. as per 1991 Census, went up to 70.50% in the State as compared to All India Average of 64.80% in 2001. The male and female literacy rate in the State is 80.3% and 60.5% respectively as against 75.3% and 53.7% in the All India Average. 1.7 For the purpose of administration, the State is divided into 9 Revenue Districts, 4 Zilla Parishads in valley and 6 Autonomous District Councils in the Hills, 38 Sub-Divisions, 39 Development Blocks, 30 Towns (9 Municipal Councils and 21 Municipalities/Nagar Panchayats), 64 Police Stations/Out posts, 166 Gram Panchayats and 2391 villages inhabited. ( iii ) 1.8 Manipur attained statehood in the year 1972. It is one of the States which was created on historical consideration and not on administrative and financial viability. It has no big industries or big projects to create employment opportunities for the increasing work force. 1.9 The process of urbanization in the Imphal City is going very fast. As a result of migration from other part of the State and urbanization, there is an ever increasing tremendous pressure on basic civic services which results in a mismatch between demand of civic services and that of the availability of the same. 1.10 The main thrust of the planning process in the State is on augmentation and strengthening of civic amenities and infrastructure under transport, energy, water supply, health sector. Special efforts are being made to extend all civic amenities in the remote areas of the State. 1.11 The State enjoys a pleasant sub-tropical monsoon climate. The average temperature ranges between 3 degree centigrade to 20 degree centigrade. An increase in altitude makes the temperature lower. The valley area are warmer than hilly area. The State receives rainfall of 1467 mm on an average. The Tamenglong district receives the maximum amount of rainfall. A meager amount of rain is received in winter and it is quite good for growing vegetables. 1.12 Though the State has no adequate mineral resources, yet it is rich in natural vegetation. The total land area under forest in Manipur constitutes about 68% of the total geographical area. Forest products like fuel wood, bamboo, cane, turpentine oil, agar, dalchini, etc are available in good quantity. Many medicinal plants and orchids are also available from the forests.
